Filipinos Rising held its Annual General Meeting—a moment to reflect on the past year’s work and the direction ahead.
Our Chair’s report revolved around the theme of deepening and diversifying—strengthening the roots of our mental health and crisis response work, while expanding into new areas like community tech, arts and culture, and anti-racism dialogue.
We celebrated:
- Over 10 mental wellness conversations grounded in kapwa
- Crisis response efforts that empowered community-led leadership
- Youth programs on identity, financial literacy, and belonging
- Innovations like the Wisdom Weaver platform
- Support for Filipino creatives telling our stories
- Collaborations that shift not just lives, but systems
Members also voted to re-elect several Board officers and members, and approved the audited financial report. A motion to appoint an auditor moving forward was also passed, marking an important step in strengthening our governance practices.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Centre for Newcomers for generously providing the space to host our AGM.
To our members, volunteers, and supporters—thank you for walking this journey with us. Let’s keep growing, together.
